Mar 15, 2018 · A plasticity index (PI) ranging from 0 to 1 was calculated for each leaf trait and site as the absolute difference between the favourable and unfavourable seasonal means divided by the maximum trait value observed across all species (Zunzunegui et al., 2011). This index permits plasticity comparisons among traits recorded in different units and ...

Soil Classifiion and Identifiion (With Diagram)
Plasticity index is the indiive of the range of water contents over which the soil remains in plastic state. I P = W LW P . Plasticity index of a soil depends upon its fineness: finer the soil, more is its plasticity index. The correlation between plasticity index and liquid limit as proposed by Nagraj and Jayadeva, 1983 is given below:

Jun 27, 2017 · The difference is termed the plasticity index (PI = LL PL). The liquidity index (LI), defined as LI = ( w PL ) / PI, where w is the natural moisture content, is an indior of soil consistency in its natural insitu conditions. It is important to recognize that Atterberg limits are approximate and empirical values.
